Description
Pre-Columbian, Northern Mexico, Paquime/Casas Grandes, 1150 to 1450 CE. This is a nice polychrome geometric decorated vessel with a design of swirling black lines with red accents. Size: 4.1" W x 2.3" H (10.4 cm x 5.8 cm)
The decoration style, with its fine lines, looks to belong to the Ramos Polychrome group, which represents the pinnacle of achievement for Casas Grandes ceramics. Casas Grandes is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and was a hugely important intermediary -- in terms of trade, art, and culture -- between the empires of Mesoamerica and the Ancestral Puebloans (Anasazi) of the US Southwest.
Provenance: Ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, IL, acquired prior to 1970.
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
We ship worldwide to most countries and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience.
